Ha! They don’t let you draw on the charts. They are supposed to give you a thick plastic sheet and a grease pen. They gave me a pretty cheap three ring binder protector sheet that had seen better day, making accuracy pretty challenging. In the end I think I got those questions right so I’ll work...

Man is that a load off. Anyone else find the plastic overlays annoying, and more than a little stressful after drawing on printouts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been looking for this answer. Best I heard was that is shows up on the map so is most likely true. Awkward! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well crap - you’re right. I’ll just think about our poor airport manager’s budget and how they can’t be expected to account for variation lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That ain’t bad. No sir, not at all. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I mostly have all this down but am annoyed by not having a simple rule to remember for it. Do any of you have any simple tricks to remember what is measured or reported in magnetic vs true course? E.g. for what I’m talking about: -airways (and VORs) are magnetic -weather is reported in true...

On topic but off topic... DPE’s in the crowd - I’m in west Michigan. Is it kosher to plan my cross country out towards the lakeshore and plan pilotage up the coast? I fully plan to fly with Foreflight (iPad) with Foreflight (iPhone) as a backup, but know my DPE will want to see an alternative...

You've asked the right person. I don't know how active Ben is on PoA, but I interacted with him on Instagram after his video came out and, as evidenced above, he was very forthcoming with details. Looking further up, it looks like there is a lot of personal sacrifice in the plan; leaving school...

It was a 20min first solo. I did notice fuel dribbling out the vent slowly throughout the flight but I had topped off the tank before we left. When it was still doing it 3 takeoffs later I briefly wondered what was going on. I later realized the right take was under a slightly higher pressure...

The cold stomach sinking realization of my own mortality would have taken days or weeks to shake off in that situation. WHOA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No buildings at all? I thought I heard there were buildings but it just have been south fox island i was reading about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That is a great story!

HA!!! Fantastic. So far, I've taken off with the fuel tank open, pulled the mixture in the pattern (instead of carb heat), leaned for cruise on a solo xc with the carb heat out (then closed it, starving the engine), and ditched flight following without approval. Let us hope I'm done learning...

Oh man, that's really good.

Oh fine - I'll tell the story anyway. The right tank gas cap was (probably) dangling by a chain during my first solo (though there are no marks from it). The pictures of the event came out like glamour shots - beautiful - but I can't look at them and not think "I can't believe I didn't check...

Thanks Looks like i'll need to hold on to this story for a little while longer!

hang on - how do you post anonymously here? lol
